Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension(30 points, 2 pints for each)
从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案,并在答案纸上将相应的字母涂黑。
Passage One
Question 21 to 25 are based on the
following passage.
Art, said Picasso, is a lie that makes us realize the
truth. So is a map. We do not usually associate the precise
work of the map maker with a fanciful object of art. Yet a map
has many qualities that a painting or a poem has. It is truth
realized in a symbolic way, holding meanings it does not
express on the surface. And like work of art, it requires
imaginative reading.
Thus, map and reality are not, and cannot be, identical.
No aspect of map use is so obvious yet so often overlooked.
Most map reading mistakes occur because the user forgets this
vital fact and expects a one-to-one correspondence between map
and reality. A map, like a painting, is just one special
version of reality. To understand a painting, you must have
some idea of the medium which was used by the artist. You
wouldn't expect a water color to look anything like an oil
painting or a charcoal(木碳)drawing, even if the subject matter
of all three were identical. In the same way, the techniques
used to create maps will greatly influence the final
representation. As a map reader, you should always be aware of
the invisible hand of the map maker. Never use a map without
asking yourself how it has been biased by the methods used to
make it.
If the entire map making process operates at its
full potential, communication takes place between the map
maker and the user. The map maker translates reality into the
clearest possible picture under the circumstances, and the map
reader converts this picture back into an impression of the
environment. For such communication to take place, the map
reader as the map maker must know something about how maps are
created.
21. Map is a lie _____ .
[A] that has
little truth in it
[B] that few of us believe
[C] that we use to express the truth
[D] that cheats
people in a tricky way
22. Map resembles art in that ____.
[A] they are
both absolute lies
[B] they are both precise as well as
fanciful
[C] they must be read with imagination
[D] they both express meanings in a superficial way
23. Most map reading mistakes occur because _____ .
[A] the map is not made according to reality
[B]
there are obvious differences between the map and reality
[C] the user forgets the one-to-one correspondence
between the map and reality
[D] the user overlooks the
gap between the map and reality
24. “the invisible hand of the map maker”(in
Paragraph 3)refers to _____ .
[A] the techniques used
to create maps
[B] the subject matter of the map
[C] the symbols used in the map
[D] the final
representation of the map
25. The last paragraph describes mainly ____ .
[A] how maps are created
[B] what the
communication between the map maker and the reader is
[C] how the map maker translates reality into a picture
[D] how the reader converts the picture back into reality
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on
the following passage.
Music which is original is individual and personal.
That is to say, it can be identified as belonging to a
particular composer. It has particular qualities, or a style,
which are not copied from another. If you can recognize the
style of a composer, you will probably be able to tell that a
certain composition belongs to him or her even though you have
never heard it before. A basket-maker has the skill of weaving
and interweaving his materials to create colorful patterns,
and an expert carpenter(木匠)has the skill of joining together
different shapes and sizes of wood to make a beautiful piece
of furniture. These skills may be referred to as
"workmanship"(技艺). Similarly, in music a composer organizes
his melodies(旋律)and rhythms and combines sounds to create
harmony. A composer may be capable of thinking up very good,
original tunes, yet if tunes are poorly organized, that is, if
the workmanship is poor, the final result will not be to
standard.
Good music expresses feelings in a way that is suitable
to those feelings. There may e joy, sorrow, fear, love, anger,
or whatever. Bad music, on the other hand, may confuse
unrelated feelings, it may not express any important feeling
at all, or it may exaggerate some feelings and make them
vulgar, that is, cheap and ugly.
Good music will stand the test of time. It will not go
out of fashion but will continue to be enjoyed and respected
long after it is first introduced. It will gain a kind of
permanent status while bad music will disappear and be
forgotten quickly. In pop music, where the general rule seems
to be“the newer the better”, the test of time is the hardest
test of all to pass.
26. A piece of original music ____.
[A] has a
personal style
[B] sounds very familiar to our ears
[C] is one whose style you cannot recognize
[D]
can not be recognized as belonging to any composer
27. We can see good workmanship in _____.
[A]
different shapes and size of furniture
[B] materials
for creating colourful patterns
[C] a piece of music
with its melodies and rhythms organized in harmony
[D]
a piece of music with very good, original tunes mixed together
28. A piece of music can be said to be good if ____.
[A] it helps to while away the hours
[B] it
combines different rhythms and sounds
[C] it makes
people forget their sorrows and worries quickly
[D] it
expresses a certain feeling in a proper way
29.According to the last paragraph, “the test
of time is the hardest of all to pass” suggests that ____.
[A] the newer the music is, the harder it can pass the
test of time
[B] it is most difficult for music to gain
a kind of permanent status
[C] pop music will cease to
be enjoyed soon after it is introduced
[D] good music
needn't pass the test of time
30.This passage is concerned with _____.
[A] how
to compose music
[B] how to enjoy music
[C] how
to judge music
[D] how to perform music
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the
following passage.
To be“historically minded”is to see things I
relation and in perspective, and to judge tolerantly. We must
remember how differently men have thought and acted in
different times. We must always keep an open mind, ready to
receive and weigh new evidence. If we grasp this idea, we will
never think that a historian(历史学家)is someone who can remember
dates. That childish idea is like calling a man a
statesman(政治家)because he can remember the names of voters in
his district. A waiter could remember more names and a
telephone operator more numbers than the greatest
historian.
The true historian is not content to take all his
facts from other historians. Today he makes sure that his
statements are based on sound“documents”or“sources”which go
back to the time of the facts themselves. But the historian
needs always to be in his guard not to be misled by his
sources. A document may not be a real one. Its author may be
lying on purpose for some reason. He may be so greatly
influenced by national, religious, party, or personal
backgrounds as to be totally unfair to the other side. If
honest, he may be misinformed as to the facts and mistaken in
his inferences.
Anyone who reads the accounts published in the
different countries concerning the causes and results of wars
will realize that the historian needs caution and training in
handling these sources. The trained historian asks first:“Did
this writer mean to tell the truth?”and second:“Was he in a
position or frame of mind to tell the truth even if he wants
to?”Every statement must be patiently weighed and tested and
combined with all other available information in order to get
at the truth.
31. A “historically minded”researcher _____.
[A]
always keeps an open mind to history
[B] looks at one
historical event without relating it to another
[C]
sees things from a single point of view
[D] refuses to
accept new evidence
32. In Paragraph 1 the author means to illustrate that
____.
[A] different men think and act differently
[B] the study of history is not merely a matter of
remembering dates
[C] a statesman can remember the
names of voters in his district
[D] a waiter can
remember more names than the great historians
33. The true historian should base his statements on
_____.
[A] findings of other historians
[B]
documents created at the present time
[C] his own
inferences
[D] sound historical materials
34. Which of the following is the topic of Paragraph 3?
[A] Some historical documents may not be real.
[B] Some authors may not be honest.
[C] Historians
should be careful about their sources.
[D] Historians
may be influenced by their own background.
35. It is emphasized in the last paragraph that
_____.
[A] wars are accounted for differently in
different countries
[B] the historian needs caution and
training in dealing with his sources
[C] some writers
may not be telling the truth
[D] some writers may not
be in a position or frame of mind to tell the truth

Ⅵ.Translation from
English into Chinese(15 points)
将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
Although students of all subjects are judged by
their performance in course work and examinations, they may be
given little or no advice on study, revision or examination
techniques.
Those who know that they are working hard, yet feel
that they are not doing as well as they could either in course
work or examinations, are likely to benefit most from
straightforward advice-because they know that they need help.
However, students who are satisfied with their progress can
also be helped to do even better work, just as talented
athletes(运动员)can improve their performance when well
coached.
It would obviously be best, therefore, in their
first few weeks at college, if all students were to consider
how to use their study and leisure time. Learning to work
effectively(to think, understand, select, organize, and
explain or remember)would help them not only at college but
also in any career.
